  1. Wait CHAN is always in odd years. So it should be 2024 is not accurate. Or did CAF change the timing?

    Anyway, wish the Cranes all the best. I hope the coaches use this to build a spine of the main senior Cranes team because the main team needs more player chemistry and team character.

    And hope FUFA stay on top of their game because it all starts and ends with them.

  2. Are they put Sudan instead of South Sudan in the tournament qualified countries. Please correct that
